They knew fighting Kelly would be equivalent to fighting a mini-war. They knew she was dangerous because they know she single-handedly took out six members of the Verrat to get Diana out of Austria and it didn't take her long to do it. All of those troops were there for Kelly and to get possession of the most prized snowflake in the world even if Kelly showed up there herself.
Grimms in general are dangerous and they knew Kelly was beyond an average Grimm. Nick sent the heads of two reapers overseas in season one and Kelly just did something that was even more impressive.
All true, but there are a couple of things being forgotten here. One, Kelly would be bringing Diana, so she's not going to be the killer grimm.
Next, they expected Nick to show up. Nick isn't going to show up alone. Hence preparing the neighborhood for a mini-war.
Kelly would be the killer Grimm to prevent Diana from being taken and they knew it. She was just that to get Diana in the first place so there's no way she wouldn't be to keep her. Juliette told them not to underestimate her and Kenneth assured her they would not hence the small army being assembled to take her on.
On the other issue, I'm not certain whether they expected Nick to show up when Kelly was there or not so it's open to interpretation. I thought they were expecting for only Juliette to be at the house when Kelly showed up but took precautions in case anyone else did which is why they followed Trubel. I get the impression that their main priority was to ambush Kelly alone while Nick was away and attack him when he came back home later on.
